False Hearted Girl
Deceitful Love: False Promises in Troubled Times
Lyrics
You love me in the sunshine
You express love when conditions are favorable.
You hate me in the rain
Your affection turns to hatred when faced with difficulties.
When old man trouble is hanging 'round
In times of trouble, challenges seem constant.
It always seems to rain
Difficulties persist in life.
I'm tired of livin' in this old world
Expressing weariness with the hardships of life.
You've done me wrong, false hearted girl
Feeling betrayed by a deceitful woman.
You said that you'd be true babe
Recalling a promise of faithfulness from the partner.
And told me that we'd wed
Assurance of marriage given by the partner.
Now you won't even see me
Current avoidance and indifference from the partner.
And I wish that I was dead
Expressing deep emotional pain and desire for escape.
I'm tired of livin' in this old world
Reiteration of weariness with life's challenges.
You've done me wrong, false hearted girl
Reaffirmation of feeling wronged by a deceptive woman.
You double crossed me babe
Accusation of betrayal and dishonesty.
You know you done it too
Acknowledgment of the partner's awareness of the betrayal.
You never hug and kiss me
Lamenting the absence of affection in the relationship.
Until the red is due
Intimacy withheld until a debt is due.
I'm tired of livin' in this old world
Repeating weariness with the challenges of life.
You've done me wrong, false hearted girl
Reiteration of feeling wronged by a deceptive woman.
I wish I was an outlaw I'd draw my gun and fire
Expressing a desire to rebel and confront the partner.
I'd fire it at your heart babe
Imagining taking drastic action against the deceptive partner.
Because you are a liar
Labeling the partner as a liar and expressing frustration.
I'm tired of livin' in this old world
Repetition of weariness with life's challenges.
You've done me wrong, false hearted girl
Reaffirmation of feeling wronged by a deceptive woman.
When Gabriel blows his trumpet
Referencing a future event of divine judgment.
And we shall all arise
Anticipation of a universal awakening and judgment day.
There'll be nobody up there
No one in the afterlife will believe the partner's lies.
Who'll believe your dirty lies
Expressing frustration and betrayal in the context of the afterlife.
I'm tired of livin' in this old world
Reiteration of weariness with life's challenges.
You've done me wrong, false hearted girl
Reaffirmation of feeling wronged by a deceptive woman.
And if you go before me
Contemplating the possibility of the partner's death.
And find it different there I know that you'll remember
Anticipating the partner's realization of unfair treatment in the afterlife.
You did not treat me fair
Belief that the partner will remember the unfair treatment.
I'm tired of livin' in this old world
Repetition of weariness with life's challenges.
You've done me wrong, false hearted girl
Reiteration of feeling wronged by a deceptive woman.
You've done me wrong, false hearted girl
Final reaffirmation of feeling wronged by a deceptive woman.
